Exactly. I just looked it up to be extra sure, the wording itself is at least as old as Machiavelli and the strategy as old as antiquity. (Let's be honest, probably even prehistory).
The Nazis were delusional, but even in their wildest dreams they didn't plan to conquer the United States.
Americans are so historically illiterate, it hurts.

They may not have planned to invade... but I think they did plan to defeat... which is all the quote really is implying IMO.
I don't think anybody claimed that the Nazis coined the phrase though.
